Hear it from Our Patients

Jody Beard has suffered from knee pain for many years. Not anymore, thanks to knee replacement surgery through the Fort Washington Medical Center Joint Replacement Program.

This surgery has changed my life. I no longer lay on shopping carts for
support or agonize when walking on concrete. After two knee replacements,
now I am all over the place. I’m walking around the school where
I work without pain. My granddaughter says I don’t walk like a penguin
anymore. I have my surgeon and the FWMC staff to thank for that!
